I've taken a bit of time off from quilting to work outside, and am getting back to the sewing machine this weekend. It feels good! I'm working on my next quilt top, a quilt called Summer Duet from Fons and Porter. It's a present for a cousin in Arizona, I'm thinking of using a layer of flannel instead of batting since she lives in a hot area of the country.

Jack Mook is a tough detective working at the Pittsburgh Police Department. He met brothers Josh and Jesse through his volunteer work at the Steel City Boxing Gym and one day they turned up missing. When he found the older brother, the startling truth he discovered set up a chain of events that changed these boys’ lives forever. This man is a true hero.

1. Divorce was 4% when I was born, today it is 51%.
2. One generation ago, gum was the #1 problem in America's schools. Today, it's a gun.

3. Cohabitation: 65% of alter bound singles live together before marriage.

4. 57 million babies aborted, most with tax payer funding and abortion is now part of socialized medicine.

5. Marijuana is being legalized, now called recreational.

6. Euthanasia and infanticide is now legalized using more politically correct names.

7. Pornography is a click away on hand held devices.

8. Homosexual and transgender lifestyles are promoted, even by our president. Christians are

persecuted for refusing to marry or support this lifestyle.

9. Movies and TV have removed standards that were in place one generation ago. PG movies now

contain sexual references and foul language.

10. The first time in US history, more than 50% of all births are to unwed mothers.

11. Sexually transmitted diseases now claim 1/3 of all Americans as their hosts.

12. 18 Trillion dollars in debt.

13. Over 11 million illegal aliens, with politicians pushing open borders and amnesty.

14. Corruption, fraud, nepotism entrenched within all levels of politicians.

15. Islam exploding worldwide, with an increasingly vulnerable America, dismantling their military,
placing incompetents in high level positions.
16. 25% of the world's ocean is now dead or dying due to radioactive water pouring out of
Fukushima, Japan. Our oceans reach 100% within 10 years.
17.An ignorant and low information populace now make up the majority of voting age Americans. (I.e.: There is nothing you can do to fix all of the above.)

What's the good news?

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow! God so loved the world that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him will have eternal life. Salvation is but a prayer away. All you have to do is #1: ask him to forgive you #2: ask him to live in your heart. The rapture IS coming. God said to his people "For I am the Lord, I do not change; therefore you are not consumed...” Malachi 3:6. He promises to take His people out of danger, by way of the rapture. After the rapture, life gets much, much worse on earth.

J.D. Farag is a pastor from Hawaii. I started listening to his sermons a couple years ago. J.D. posts 2 youtube videos each week. The first one is his regular Sunday sermon, and then he posts the second part of his Sunday sermon. In the second half he compares scripture with events that revolve around Israeli current events. This pastor reminds me of the pastor I listened to for 8 years, Pastor Charles Alber.

Senator Ted Cruz is a man who proudly, loudly proclaims he is a Christian. He was invited to speak at an event by a group called "In Defense of Christians". As you probably already know, he was boo-ed off the stage after he said “If you will not stand with Israel and the Jews, then I will not stand with you,” Cruz said. “Thank you, and God bless.”

In the beginning of this video you see Toufic Baaklini, the president of In Defense of Christians, asking the crowd to be respectful of Senator Cruz.

It occurs to me that this is what it will look like after the rapture. God will come for His people and we leave this world to go with Him, turning our backs, as Senator Cruz turned his back on the 'Christians' in this crowd. At that time, many who called themselves Christian will be left behind.

Take God at His word…

In Psalm 132:13-16, we read, “For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation. ‘This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it. I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her with bread.”
"...I will enter into judgment with them there on behalf of my people and my inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; and they have divided up my land." Joel 3:1-2
Yes, take God at His word. If you split the land of Israel, God will split yours. Do you follow God 100%? Anyone who hates the Jews, hates God. God has said the Palestinians are followers of Satan. Any 'Christian' who wants to give the Palestinians a state will be disciplined by God and He will not hear him.

Below are documented occasions of catastrophic phenomena happening 24 hours after the U.S. compels Israel to surrender some of their Holy covenant land for peace. The following was not written by me.
1. October 30, 1991: The Perfect Storm—As President George H.W. Bush is opening the Madrid (Spain) Conference to consider "land for peace" in Israel's Middle East role, the "perfect storm" develops in the North Atlantic, creating the largest waves ever recorded in that region. The storm travels 1000 miles from "east to west" instead of the normal "west to east" pattern and crashes into the New England Coast. Thirty-five footwaves crash into the Kennebunkport home of President Bush.
2. August 23, 1992: Hurricane Andrew—When the Madrid Conference moves to Washington DC and the peace talks resume, Hurricane Andrew, the worst natural disaster ever to hit America, comes ashore and produces anestimated $30 billion in damage and leaving 180,000homeless in Florida.
3. January 16, 1994: Northridge Earthquake—President Bill Clinton meets with Syria's President Hafez el-Assad in Geneva. They talk about a peace agreement with Israel that includes giving up the Golan Heights. Within 24 hours, a powerful 6.9 earthquake rocks Southern California. This quake, centered in Northridge, becomes the second most destructivenatural disaster to hit the United States, behind Hurricane Andrew.4. September 28, 1998: Hurricane George—As Secretary of State Albright works on the final details of anagreement in which Israel would give up 13 percent ofYesha (Judah and Samaria), Hurricane George slams intothe United States Gulf Coast with 110 mph winds andgusts up to 175 mph. The hurricane hits the coast andstalled. On September 28, Clinton meets with YasserArafat and Netanyahu at the White House to finalizethis land deal. Later, Arafat addresses the UnitedNations about declaring an independent Palestinianstate by May 1999, as Hurricane George pounds the GulfCoast, causing $1 billion in damage. At the exact timethat Arafat departs the country, the storm begins todissipate.
5. October 15-22, 1998: Texas Flooded—On October 15, 1998, Arafat and Netanyahu meet at the Wye River Plantation in Maryland. The talks are scheduled tolast five days with the focus on Israel giving up 13percent of Yesha. The talks are extended and concludeon October 23. On October 17, awesome rains andtornadoes hit southern Texas. The San Antonio area isdeluged with rain. The rain and flooding in Texascontinue until October 22 and then subside. The floodsravage 25 percent of Texas and leave over one billiondollars in damage. On October 21, Clinton declaresthis section of Texas a major disaster area.6. November 30, 1998: Market Capitalization Evaporates—Arafat comes to Washington again to meet with President Clinton to raise money for a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as the capital. A total of 42 other nations were represented in Washington. All the nations agreed to give Arafat $3 billion in aid. Clinton promised $400 million, and the European nations $1.7 billion. On the same day, the Dow Jones average drops 216 points, and on December 1, the European Market had its third worst day in history. Hundreds of billions of market capitalization were wiped out in the U.S. and Europe.
7. May 3, 1999: The Powerful Super Tornado—On the day that Yasser Arafat is scheduled to declare aPalestinian state with Jerusalem as the capital, themost powerful tornado storm system ever to hit theUnited States sweeps across Oklahoma and Kansas. Thewinds are clocked at 316 mph the fastest wind speedever recorded. The declaration is postponed toDecember 1999 at the request of President Clinton,whose letter to Arafat encourages him in his"aspirations for his own land." He also writes thatthe Palestinians have a right to "determine their ownfuture on their own land" and that they deserve to"live free, today, tomorrow and forever."
8. Week of October 11: Hurricane, Earthquake and Dow Collapse—As Jewish settlers in 15 West Bank (Israel)settlements are evicted from the covenant land inIsrael, the Dow-Jones financial averages lose 5.7percent in the worst week since October 1989. OnOctober 15 the Dow lost 266 points, and a hurricaneslams into North Carolina. On the next morning,October 16, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake rocks thesouthwest in the fifth most powerful earthquake in20th Century. The earthquake was centered in theCalifornia desert and did little damage but was felt in three states.There are a few more I noticed as I searched for examples of God's judgment but I think this is enough to show a "coincidence". Are you one of the Christians to be left behind?
